Syndicated Acquisitions

In cases where RPX is not pursuing an acquisition using subscription fees, our clients may still request our assistance. In these instances, RPX structures syndicated acquisitions on behalf of clients, with the same objective of efficiently sharing resources and collectively reducing litigation risk, just on a larger scale. Transactions of this complexity require the collective resources of a large client network and benefit from the substantial deal experience and market insights that RPX provides.

Our clients see distinct advantages of syndicated purchasing through RPX, as we are uniquely situated to structure transactions that are ultimately less costly and deliver more value to participating clients than if any attempted individual licensing or unilateral purchasing of the portfolios. Our neutral and independent position enables us to negotiate objectively for the most rational and efficient exchange of value.

Also, our ability to transact on behalf of a large number of companies enables us to remove risk for the patent owner, which leads to more advantageous pricing. In effect, RPX can buy “wholesale” on behalf of our client network, while our clients otherwise would pay “retail” if transacting on their own.
